Tasting Note
Bright garnet with light orange hues. Rich and powerful at first, but extremely elegant with a texture of silky, enveloping tannins; great harmony and long-tasting flavour. On the nose, the wine is complex and intense with great charm, with balsamic notes, violet, small black fruits, turffle and fine spices.

About the Grape
Nebbiolo
Young Nebbiolo can be tough, acidic and tannic; but mature, its blackberry and wild cherry flavors and aromas develop complex and sublime violet, rose petal, truffle and tar notes.
